Boy, that is strange. I was running Struts on my laptop (totally
disconnected from the net) during my JavaOne session that demo'd
Struts, and it worked fine.

What does the top of your struts-config.xml file look like? In
particular, the <!DOCTYPE> declaration must exactly match the one that's
in all of the Struts examples:
<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC
"-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.0//EN"
"http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_0.dtd";>
In particular, it is the public identifier (the first string) that Struts
tries to match on.
A second question -- what XML parser and version are you using?
